"I think it is disgusting, my son wouldn't hurt a fly, yet why would someone do this anyone?

"You can see in the video he didn't retaliate, or come back at him. In a way, I'm glad it was filmed because we can catch him doing it, and I know my son is OK, but this is disgusting behaviour.

"My son has been bullied and threatened in the past, but never been physically attacked."

Luckily, the young boy didn't suffer any serious injuries and the identity of the bully is now known to the family.

The mum added: "Fortunately my son managed to shield himself and his head with his backpack. He still suffered a bang to the head, but he didn't need any hospital treatment. It could have been a lot worse."

The boy's mum has issued a message to bullies like her son's attacker, and those who suffer at their hands.

She said: "To the children who are bullied, I think it's important to know that the bully is the one in the wrong. They do it because of who THEY are, not because of who you are. They need to learn to be more accepting of the fact that every individual is different.

"To the parents: get upset and angry and voice your hurt and frustration, that's your right - someone is harming your child."
